Then click on 'your old iPhone'

All sorted, just called upgrade line and they said that the previous owner will de-register their current iPhone when they get their new one. When i receive the de-registered iPhone, i plug it in to iTunes to register it under my name and can choose my new tariff then.

:)

cheers for your help people

Very envious of you GE! :D

:D

it's costing me money but i think it'll be worth it. i hate this lg viewty more than life itself

Where is 2.0? Apps are useless without it.

I know, just purchased some apps from the apps store and then find I can't use them!

Can get 2.0 early here.

I understood it would be available today but iTunes is still reporting 1.1.4 as the current version. :confused:

what does this mean? Is it an upgrade for the old Iphones? The new ones will have this built in right?

Yup it's a software upgrade for existing iPhones.

It's software for all iPhones.

Early 3G iPhones are reported to be shipping with the 1.1.4 firmware so they'll need to be updated via iTunes as with iPhone Mk 1.

Wicked queues in Richmond

Was going to pop down now but I need my account number which is only available on my online bill but I can't login to the 02 website

Ah, does that mean I'm fecked if I buy an unlocked one with the old firmware on?

have you sold your version 1 phone then?

Giving it away

There were no queues at all outside the O2 shop in Christchurch.

Dave, i've got no problems with the O2 site. I just logged on to learn that my order is 'being processed'. No change there since Wed. Bit pissed as I could have just strolled down the road and bought one without all the problems trying to do it online.

I can login to the 02 website - just couldn't get my acc number

off to get it now

In a short queue

Playing with my iphone 3g now and I love it!:cool: :p

If anyone is hoping to get a 16gb I wouldn't hold your breath, I had to settle for a 8gb!

Sorry if it has been covered in a previous post, but how do you transfer files from itunes onto the iphone?!

Thanks in advance!:p

Damn - no 16s left

Hate to say I told you so!

I'm not bothered - still have my Iphone V1

Fair enough...I've been struggling along with a SE P990 for nealy 2 years...this is amazing!

Could you point me in the right direction to get some songs on here?!

On your Iphone?

Install Itunes, drag music over, sync, rock out

Doesn't seen to be letting me do it?! I don't know if you have to change the format of the file?

Just go in, got the last one from O2 Kendal at just after 12 :lux: about 5 people came in while I was there asking about it. One guy was still there finding out what it all did. My 3G sim won't be activated for 24-48 hours, but screw it I got the phone :D

Fair enough, that's easy enough! Were they able to sort it out for them then?

My sim has been activated, just got a call offering insurance for £99.99 for the full 18 months compared to the £30 a quarter they were trying to flog me this morning!

So if you are going to get i insured, I would wait for a phone call and save £80...just don't get mugged on the way home!

first post from the iPhone. A little of getting used to but nice so far.

I think I've cracked it! You have to create a playlist, and sync the playlsit and the phone. I've not found another way of doing it yet but that works!

I happened to walk past the O2 shop again at lunchtime and the windows were plastered with signs which basically said 'We haven't got any more iPhones so piss off and leave us alone' :D

You'll love it Steve. :p

Any of you newbees care to tell how good the GPS is?

If the iPhone is anything like an iPod, you should just be able to tick the 'Manually manage music' box in the Summary tab section. You'll be able to drag and drop things then.

What do you mean how good? It's using google maps isn't it? So if you like google maps then it should be all good.

As for the strength of signal / ability to get locks - I'm guessing it will be as tricky as other mobiles.

iTunes overloaded. I suppose giving first generation owners an extra day to upgrade firmware would have been too obvious?

o2 has taken the upgrade link down from their webshite.

Got a 16Gb today :)

Loads of phones left at Apple store at Lakeside, 8 and 16Gb in both white and black (well there was at 1730).

Oh and absolutely NO queues.

Well I told it find my location it initially seemed off, however once i turned on the satellite view rather than the map view it was bang on top of our house (well the drive anyway)

Ok so what apps are worth having?

Free and paid for.

ipint is fun for about 30secs and netnewswire is good for rss feeds and of course the iTunes remote. I haven't tried any paid for ones until any other suckers have paid for them and reviewed them.

Shazam.

are the apps only for iPhone 2.0?

You should be able to update your phone to 2.0.

does netnewswire offer much over google reader?

Probably not, I haven't tried google yet

The light sabre app makes my life feel worthwhile

AIM is kewl too - pitty ICQ / AIM are pretty dead now

wish there was skype or msn

Agree shazam is marvellous. Got the lightsabre one too, this phone kicks butt! How I managed with a wm6 phone for so long is beyond me. any recommendations for a case? It's almost too beautiful to use.

air me is pssibly the greatest thing ever - now wish the camera wasn't toilet, it's same camera in the upgrade - right?

If you want a VOIP client, there's always Truphone...

Nope, no need for VOIP - skype chat is where I spend about one third of my day talking with colleagues around the world.

It's cool because you can chat whilst logged in via multiple machines and is encrypted

zintin looks fun -

remote is very very nice with the mini, loving it

No, the version 2 software upgrade allows original iPhones to download apps.

Its great :p

Shazam and remote are neat.

Any feedback on whether iplayer works via 3G?

It doesn't unfortunately.

I love my iPhone. It's my favourite ever piece of gadget related kit.

How does one add feeds to newsnetwire?

Damn and damn 02

You might want to look at Google Reader which has an interface optimised for the Iphone

Thats a shame..that would have been the one thing that would have pursuaded me to upgrade to the 3G.
Still waiting to get an unlock for the original iphone for 2.0 firmware!

Fring.com....... its great for skype and msn!! ;)

You gotta load a piece of software onto your computer... at least thats what I did until I tried Google reader like Dave suggested!

I'm with Dave...Google reader all the way, just don't need anything else.

Ta. Google Reader is much better. :p

Google reader is cool but of course there is no offline support. An rss reader that downloaded your feeds entirely so you can read them online /offline is the answer

I might try and build one

Anyone tried Auroa Feint? Fun little game considering its a freebie

Last.fm app works over 3G network. Nice.

So I'm guessing I should be looking to get one to replace my sim card hacked original Iphone then, from all that I'm reading on here.

Some of the stuff in the apps store does look good.

Rumours already on the net about hacked 3G iphones. Don't know if they work or not, but there's a few listed on Ebay too.

An offline world, theres a novelty concept. Do you think it will catch on?

There are plenty of times one won't have a 3G connection

Wow - great catch. HTF did I miss that?

What would be supper cool was if the Iphone supported updating your recently listened lists etc. The only place where I update my listings is work and I don't think it does that right all the time because some of my tunes have missing or screwed metadata

If only I didn't have 3 months left of my current contract! I'd be straight to the shops to buy the iphone :(

It's marvellous. I haven't used LastFM that much before but I definitely will be now.

i can't change my contract till january.

unless I get an iPhone and they'll let me :p

Get hold of a first gen iPhone

I just cancelled my iPhone order.....

I have used it for a long time - I listen to most of my music on my Linux desktop and all the players support Last.FM

I am listening to my 'recommended' radio which is cool but it updates my recently listened to list which is a bit odd

http://www.last.fm/user/dc2447/

I dream of the day I get a 3G signal!!!

You wouldn't like it.

Stick to windows mobile, it's the experience you deserve.

It can be hard getting a 3G connection even in London

I already have one, I'm just becoming too impatient to wait for the 2.0 firmware to be unlocked!

As long as the 2.0 firmware is unlocked relatively soon, I think ii'll be content until the 3rd Iphone..which is probably a couple of years away!

isn't the 2.0 update already available on iTunes?

Yeah, but I need to unlock it to use on T-Mobile

I believe they want to use 2.0 with other networks

i see.

not long till I have one now :)

Thanks mate. I'll post my URL when I've listened to enough tunes to make it worthwhile.

Why??!!?

Anyone reckon they'll have the stock issues sorted out by 3rd September? Considering one of these bad boys as my next phone but having just got a company laptop there probably is much need for one.

I was really put off by how much of a shambles O2 customer service is.

I ordered the device last monday and got a confirmation email from them stating delivery within 5 working days subject to credit checking.

I called on Thursday as I had heard nothing from them. I was told that I couldn't have ordered the iPhone as they were only available on the 11th. I was told that delivery was within 10 working days not 5 as per the confirmation email.

I was then told my account was in the process of being scored. It takes 3 days for a business credit check (even though t-mobile, Vodafone and Orange can turn a business connection around on the spot) and they were doing it at that point.

I got a call on Friday from a member of the sales team about me registering an interest in the iPhone and asking if I was interested in ordering one.

I called this morning to see if there was an update - I was told the account had been approved on Wednesday (the day before I called last week and was told it was being scored) but they needed me to send in copies of proof of ID and proof of address. I should have been called about this last wednesday.

At that point I decided to cancel the order as if O2 are that bad at processing an order, I didn't want to have to deal with them if I had any sort of issue.

I walked into Vodafone at 2:00 and walked out with a new windows mobile device within 30 minutes.

I'd imagine they will be well sorted by then.
Wouldn't be suprised if you could get one this week if you tried hard enough.

Getting more and more tempted to buy one!

Your loss I guess, but there are no Windows Mobile devices anywhere near as nice as the iphone

I wouldn't want one if you hadn't loaded up porn at half time at the end of the season! Bastard....costing me money!!

They are well worth it...Ah man, I just want the new software :( Super monkey ball on the move man!

Super monkey ball is without a doubt the most frustrating and irritating game ever created, its the scum of all games that deserves to burn in hell!

................can you tell i have quit smoking?

Ha congratulations.. you grumpy bastard! About time!


As not to hijack this thread..Who would reccomend getting a 3G iphone to replace my 2G? Or is it not that worthwhile..

Tuner is a great app for listening to online radio on your iphone/touch. Worth the 3 quid pad. (Does eem to have very positive reviews as well now on itunes).

I knwo this may not be the best thread to ask in but im looking for a dock for my touch possibly with inbuilt speakers does anyone have any recommendations.

The prices for the officical dock with no speakers is a rip off imho, so looking for alternatives.

Ta.

Ha, just found out that the headphones that come with the iphone have a microphone built in, and you can control pause music, answer calls etc with it!

depends how much you want to spend - I like these

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-iGro.../dp/B000I1HUGS

I was tempted with that, but I think I'd rather get one with Built in DAB.
Do you know of any others? I was tempted with Intempo RDI:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intempo-Digi...6069646&sr=1-1

TBH I am only really familiar with the I-Grove and it's smashing although there is a part of me that thinks you could get decent sound out of a much cheaper unit

The SXT, which I believe is the newer version, is cheaper.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-iGro...6069976&sr=1-1
Although it doesn't look quite as nice

Thanks for the suggestion. Looking to get best value for the amount of notes spent.

As i can now get internet radio via the ipod and the remote app by apple i feel i can use it as a replacement for a hifi system.

Was looking at the JBL On Site which seems more compact then those suggested so far. But 222 reviews for your recommendation says loads about the product imho.

Thanks :p

It's less powerful than the older model but I bet it's good, looks a great price
